InstallAnywhere 2017

Installation development solution for application producers who need to deliver a professional and consistent multiplatform installation experience for physical, virtual and cloud environments. InstallAnywhere creates reliable installations for on-premises platforms – Windows, Linux, Apple, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and IBM – and enables you to take existing and new software products to a virtual and cloud infrastructure, and create Docker containers—all from a single InstallAnywhere project.

To celebrate the 30-year anniversary of InstallShield, a free one-year subscription to FlexNet Code Aware for InstallShield and InstallAnywhere is available for users on any edition with current maintenance.

There is also a discount to legacy users on older Premier or Professional versions of InstallShield or InstallAnywhere, without maintenance - 30% off a new license with maintenance, which will include a free one-year subscription to FlexNet Code Aware too. Those with a legacy version of InstallShield Express will receive 30% off a new license, purchase maintenance and will receive a free 30-day FlexNet Code Aware subscription.

Technical support for FlexNet Code Aware is included in the free one-year or 30-day subscription.

These offers ends 30 November 2017.

InstallAnywhere Premier Edition customers are entitled to 1 free license of the Standalone Build. You can also purchase additional Standalone Build licenses by calling Greymatter

The following licensing options are available for Standalone Build System. Please call Greymatter to learn more.
